hi codespeak.net users, (sorry if you get mail twice, i wanted to make sure 
...)

after 8 years of operation codespeak.net services are bound to terminate, 
starting

     END OF FEBRUARY 2011

Background: one of the original codespeak purposes was to offer subversion 
(then
in version 0.17) for the PyPy and other projects but today this is not too
interesting given the pletora of VCS hosting solutions.  Also, there aren't too
many admins besides me, the hosting is costing money, PyPy's repository has
moved to Bitbucket and i am re-shuffling my priorities preparing for my soon to
emerge father-hood.  After February 2011 i probably won't be able to help
much with any transition issues or questions. The host will keep on running for
a while but i give no guaruantees.

Some remarks regarding termination wrt to the FEB 2011 deadline:

* the subversion repo will turn read-only (and will eventually be switched 
off).

* Shell accounts will be restricted to those people who need it *and* mail
   me about it.  Some time later they will be gone as well.

* Mailing lists will be terminated as well unless i get a mail asking
   me to postpone termination for a specific time. You can go to your 
respective
   mailman admin page and extract a list of members.  If you mail me i can 
also
   provide a list of members.

* Any remaining web docs/pages will probably continue to exist for a while
   but i also prefer them to be moved away by end Feb 2011.

Note that the codespeak svn repository contains a lot of projects.  For 
migration
you have two options: do a flat import just of your project checkout 
directory into
a new version system.  This is super-simple, obviously.  If you want to 
preserve
history for your project please mail me and i either provide you a full dump or
a filtered dump only containing your project.

So long and I hope you all had a good time and enjoyed the services and also
have a good transition now.

see you in other places,
holger krekel
